Careful Data Show Them to Be Not Over Thirty-two Feet High. An article quoted in Current Literature gives this interesting information on ocean waves. Dr. G. Schott, as the result of studying the form and height of the waves of the sea, claims that under a moderate breeze their velocity was 24.6 feet per second, or 16.8 miles an hour, which is about the speed of a modern sailing vessel. As the wind rises the size and speed of the waves increase. In a strong breeze their length rises to 260 feet and their speed reaches 36 or 36.4 feet per second., Waves the period of which is nine seconds, the Jength 400 or 425 feet, and the speed 28 nautical miles per hour are produced only in storms. During a southeast storm in the southern Atlantic he measured waves 600 feet- long, and this was not a maximum, for in latitude 28 degrees south and longitude 39 degrees east he observed waves of 15 seconds’ period, which were 1,150 feet long, with a velocity of 78.7 feet per secund, or 46k 3 nautical miles an hour. Dr. Schott does not think that the maximum- height ot the waves is very great. Some observers have estimated it at 30 or 40 feet in a wind of the force " represented by 11 on the Beaufort scale, the highest number of which is 12, and Dr. Schott’s maximum is just 32 fieet. He believes that in great tempests waves of more than 60 feet are raid, and ‘that even those of s’o feet are exceptional. In the ordinary trade winds the height is 5 or 6 feet. The ratio of height to length is about 1.33 in a'moderate wind, 1.18 in a strong wind and 1.17 in a storm, from which it follows that the inclination of the 'wave is repectively about 6. 10, 11 degrees. The ratio of the height , of tile waves"to . the force of the wind varies greatly. Rouble lluty. A capital story was once told of the Rev. Thomas Hunt, the veteran temperance orator, wliti was well known in the early history of the Wyoming valley. He was a somewhat eccentric man, but possessed of remarkably quick wits, which stood him in good stead on many occasions. During the civil war he enlisted in one of the regiments of infantry raised in the valley and served as chaplain. One day in the very-fiercest .of the battle a major rode up in front of the regiment, and seeing Father Hunt at the head of the ranks inquired in great astonishment : ...».. “Chaplain, what are., you doing •there?’ “What ain I doing?” repeated the stanch old minister quickly, I’m cheering the hearts of the brave and watching the heels of the cowards !” He was evidently performing this double task, so well and thoroughly that the major could find no fault with him and'left hiiittd his self appointed charge. ■A Hugo Fad. ' An entliuSiastic admirer. of Victor HugoKhas made a collection of all the bjack and white and colored portraits of thtf poet that he could find. Altogether they number nearly 4,000, of which ab0ut.;2,500 Sre caricaturesand cartoons. 'The collector, M. Beuve, has also gathered together with infinite pains innumerable pipes, canes, tobacco jars, bottles/ scarf pins, handkerchiefs, even cakes of soap, on which the-head of the poet appears.
